Laundry is perpetual...

My entire bachelor life I did laundry nights and weekends at no specific intervals. The dryer is often a holding spot until I have to put wet clothes in it. I bought several plastic bins (love the clear ones) for storing clean clothes that I cannot fold after they are dry and colored bins for dirty clothes. My strict rule is I don't use the colored bins for clean laundry.

The washer and dryer on are a back patio, a screened room with a covered aluminum roof. We can do laundry any time of the day or night and no one gets disturbed by the sound of the machines running.

My wife has taken on the responsibility of laundry duty and I always have clean clothes. Typically, I would wear jeans only once and that means lots of clothes get washed each week. Coworkers often wear shorts and I can see many wear the same garment several days in a row. It's an office environment and my position changed over the years as I once was a project manager in and out of construction sites, I decided (this year) to wear jeans 2 days before tossing them into the dirty laundry bin. Less wear and tear on the clothes and less laundry.

I did a blog not long ago about the HE (High Efficiency) washer that was too abrasive and frayed some of my favorite jeans. That problem has been resolved now.

Last week, my wife spent the night with a friend who has a young daughter. There was a Jewish holiday and the little girl was out of school so they planned a day at a tourist attraction and they all went together.
I did a load of laundry (towels) and felt bad because I didn't have time to fold and put them away... after all, laundry is perpetual.
